Specimen Orientation in Breast Conserving Surgery: An Argument for using Specimen Kits
نویسندگان
چکیده
Breast cancer becoming a major threat now a day. About 45,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK each year and about 60% have breast conserving surgery. The rate of re-excision rates following breast conserving surgery varies between 12% to 30%across the UK. The use of margin status and re-excision rate as a measure of quality is controversial. Specimen orientation kits are important as they can influence the re-excision rates. Here in this study, there is used a new specimen orientation kit called 'Klin tray' and assessed its impact on margins and re-excision rate.

Molecular dyes used for surgical specimen margin orientation allow for intraoperative optical assessment during breast conserving surgery.
A variety of optical techniques utilizing near-infrared (NIR) light are being proposed for intraoperative breast tumor margin assessment. However, immediately following a lumpectomy excision, the margins are inked, which preserves the orientation of the specimen but prevents optical interrogation of the tissue margins. Here, a workflow is proposed that allows for both NIR optical assessment fol...
متن کاملA technique for marking oncological breast tissue specimens.
With new breast conserving oncological surgical techniques, accurate identification of specimen margins is important to allow for the re-excision of margins. The accurate identification of margins is crucial is the success of the patients treatment if further margins are required. NHS Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) guidelines recommend the excised specimen is labelled accurately to correct...
متن کاملAn evaluation of intraoperative digital specimen mammography versus conventional specimen radiography for the excision of nonpalpable breast lesions.
BACKGROUND This study examined the impact of intraoperative digital specimen mammography (IDSM) compared with conventional specimen radiography (CSR) for nonpalpable breast lesions in patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery (BCS). METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, 201 consecutive image-detected nonpalpable breast lesions underwent BCS after preoperative localization and specim...
متن کاملAnalysis of the use of specimen mammography in breast conservation therapy.
BACKGROUND Obtaining tumor-negative margins when performing breast-conserving surgery is the standard of care to prevent local recurrence. We believe two-view specimen mammography is a useful method for intraoperative determination of adequacy of excision. METHODS A retrospective review was performed on patients who underwent wire-localized partial mastectomy for invasive cancer in our Breast...
متن کاملIntraoperative radiological margin assessment in breast-conserving surgery.
UNLABELLED A prospective study was lead in order to analyze the accuracy of an X-ray device settled in the operating room for margin assessment, when performing breast-conserving surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and seventy patients were included. All lesions were visible on the preoperative mammograms. An intraoperative X-ray of the lumpectomy specimen was systematically performed f...
